504 Plan (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act)

A 504 Plan is a formal educational plan designed to support students with disabilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It ensures that students have equal access to education by providing necessary accommodations, such as modified testing conditions, additional time for assignments, or specialized resources. The goal is to remove barriers that might hinder a student’s ability to learn in a standard classroom setting. This plan is tailored to each student's specific needs, promoting their educational achievement and ensuring they can participate fully in school activities.
